sortOptions field with dynamicData: true

thanks in advanced for helping. hopefully i'm just missing something here or using the wrong function.

i have a data table with dynamic data delivered from the server. I want to make one particular column pass in a different "sort" value when the user clicks on the column header. Below is example of responseSchema with three fields and then I have the column defs below. The only difference here is that when the user clicks the "field" column, I want the data table to pass a string into the sort parameter so I can sort it differently on the server. I suppose I could build the URL dynamically but i'd rather just use sortOptions: {field: "field,field3"}. So far this is not working. Do I need to build it dynamically?

Code:

myDataSource.responseSchema = {
   resultsList: "records",
   fields: [{key:"Id",parser:"number"},"field","field2"],
   metaFields:{
      totalRecords:"totalRecords"
   }
};

var myColumnDefs = [
{"key":"Id","label":"D","sortable":true},
{"key":"field","label":"Changed By","sortable":true,formatter:this.formatOwnerUrl, sortOptions: { field: "field,field3" }},
{"key":"field2","label":"Change Date","sortable":true, sortOptions: { defaultDir: YAHOO.widget.DataTable.CLASS_DESC }}
];

Nevermind on this post. I ended up correcting it server side but it would be a nice feature for the future. :geek:

Have you tried building a custom sort function for the DataTable? Check out the reference at http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datatable/#advancedsort for starters.

Are you trying to first sort by one column, and then by another, based upon user column heading clicks?
